The article is dedicated to analysis of the people’s image and its place in the storyline of the tragedy. The authors examine the work by Pushkin with respect to its philosophical and theolog-ical aspects and not to positivist sociological ones traditional for both pre-revolution and Soviet literature studies. The authors point out that the (Revolt) history appears in the tragedy not as an exclusive movement of people’s masses as it had been argued before but acting as a disposition of Providence (Divine Providence). From this perspective the article is radically reinterpreting the role and image of the people in the tragedy by Pushkin.
